The people of Klemtu hold aboriginal rights and title to the land and resources that encompasses this geographic location of British Columbia's central coast region and a part of what is now called the Great Bear Rainforest.

The spirit bear is a unique creature. It lives only on the Pacific coast of British Columbia, in Canada.

The spirit bear is what scientists call an "umbrella species," that is, if a large enough suitable habitat can be protected for the spirit bear, many other species sharing the same ecosystem will also be protected under this umbrella; for example, salmon, birds, wolves, deer, grizzly bears, insects and many others. Rarely, a white bear is reported from other black bear populations elsewhere in North America but these are from different subspecies.
